This article contains spoilers from theSolo Levelingmanhwa.
Solo Levelingis widely recognized for its action-packed storyline with little to no downtime. The strongest hunter, Sung Jin-Woo, often engages in deadly dungeon crawls, crucial boss fights, and world-ending threats from one exciting story arc to another. But as the plot unfolds,Solo LevelingSeason 3 is shaping up to be the most romantic yet because of its two popular characters: Sung Jin-Woo and Cha Hae-In.
For much ofSolo Leveling’s story, hunter Sung Jin-Woo is chasing power with a clear goal in mind. From curing his bedridden mother to saving the world, Jin-Woo has a lot on his plate. However, underneath his imposing exterior lies a normal person who is still capable of giving and accepting love. Solo Leveling Season 3 might peel back this rough exterior as he begins to form a silent but meaningful bond with theever-beautiful and graceful Cha Hae-In.
Is Solo Leveling Season 3 About to Get Romantic?
Romance Could Bloom Behind the Action and Drama
Solo Levelingis unlike any other power fantasy anime or manga series out there, with heavy emphasis on the romance department. It has a simple and straightforward plot, which most fans often find repetitive, as Jin-Woo constantly grows stronger until he becomes untouchable. However, that doesn’t meanSolo Levelinghas no sprinkle of romance at all, asJin-Woo has a handful of love interests, including the “best girl,” Cha Hae-In.
While Seasons 1 and 2 ofSolo Levelingpresented anime fans with their dark themes, action-packed scenes, and a good amount of drama, Season 3 is expected to lay the groundwork for the bloomingromance between Cha Hae-In and Sung Jin-Woo. These characters have obvious chemistry and tension from the moment they meet, and fans knowSolo Levelingwould acknowledge and address it over time.
“It’s different when I’m with him (Jin-Woo). I feel good”—Cha Hae-In
That said, Solo Leveling Season 3 might become the most romantic season yet just because of these two relevant characters. Manhwa fans have been shipping these two for quite a long time now, but they haven’t had any real romantic progress in the anime. While they had many interactions in the past seasons, most of them did not amount to anything. That should change in Season 3, with Cha Hae-In and Jin-Woo likely growing closer than ever.
Solo Leveling Season 3 Might Set the Stage for Romantic Moments
The Deepening Connection Between Jin-Woo and Cha Hae-In
Manhwa fans are aware of the next story arcs, which could be adapted and covered in Solo Leveling Season 3. Two of these story arcs, the Ahjin Guild and the Double Dungeon arcs, includeintimate moments between Cha Hae-In and Jin-Woo, which have a chance of breaking the internet once they are completely animated. These scenes will be different from their usual interactions, as they involve skinship and emotional outbursts.
For instance, in the Ahjin Guild arc, Jin-Woo holds Cha Hae-In close, almost as if he’s embracing her, while doing shadow exchange. A blushing Cha Hae-In will be caught off guard, as this is the first time she has allowed someone to touch her so dearly. On top of that,Cha Hae-In’s big confession will also happen. Most likely, the anime could expand this manga scene just to please their hardcore fans.
“I basically confessed!!!"—Cha Hae-In
Additionally, in the Double Dungeon arc, Cha Hae-In will go to extreme lengths just to protect Jin-Woo and vice versa. At this point, manhwa fans can already sense the shift in the slow-burn relationship between the two characters. After all, of all the hunters who went to help Jin-Woo, only Cha Hae-In had a shadow watching over her. This speaks volumes on Jin-Woo’s growing affection for Cha Hae-In.
Jin-Woo Could Open His Heart Again
Cha Hae-In Would Break Through Jin-Woo’s Walls
Sung Jin-Woo has been through a lot of betrayals and suffering inSolo Levelingfrom day one. These painful experiences forced him to build a wall around his heart, which made it difficult for anyone to climb past it or reach him. Being a player in the system did not help either, as he felt he was slowly losing himself every time he killed and gained power.
However, if there’s anyone capable of breaking through Jin-Woo’s walls, that would be Cha Hae-In and the people he loves the most. That should happen in Season 3, as Cha Hae-In and Jin-Woo would finally open their hearts by completely giving their trust to each other. Fans just need more episodes in Solo Leveling Season 3 to watch how they would start treating each other differently.
Unfortunately, therelease date forSolo LevelingSeason 3is not yet confirmed, so fans, especially anime-only viewers, could turn to the manhwa to find out how the third season might be the most romantic season yet for themselves.
